Process measurement

An important foundation for improving productivity in your operations is the ability to measure labor activities.

• Do you want to increase productivity in one or all parts of your operations?
• Do you need to implement work standards that are considered fair and accurate by labor and management?
• Do you require regular audits to measure "creeping" changes?
• Are you seeking to implement incentive policies?

When your organization is ready to improve day-to-day operations and build incentive-based policies, then you are ready for engineered labor standards (ELS).

West Monroe Partners' unique engineered labor standards methodology combines the use of pre-determined time systems, time and motion studies, and work sampling to evaluate and measure labor activities. The resulting standards save time and money for your distribution centers, retail store, and delivery operations, and they keep management and labor motivated and involved. Your results include shorter timelines, reduced implementation costs, and the creation of extremely dependable standards.

We can help you develop engineered labor standards for your entire enterprise or for a specific function within your business, such as your distribution center, retail stores, or product delivery operation.

Creating results. It's about measurement.

West Monroe Partners designs standards using the techniques of scientific time management to evaluate and measure labor activities, i.e. picking, packing, receiving, etc. Our engineers then determine fair performance metrics for each operation. We provide engineered labor standards certification, training, maintenance, and annual audits in order to provide long-term success.
